A total of 31 transects were used for the survey <strong>in</strong> Ngardmau, Ngaraard and Ngarchelong (Figure 12).<br />

Due to the extent of the seagrass bed transects were placed further apart from each other, between 500<br />

meters and 1,000 meters apart. Most transects ran from the coast out towards the barrier reef. Deep-water<br />

surveys were done at three sites.<br />
